3.1.3 Connect to the relay

To start communicating with the relay go to Communication > Computer in the main EnerVista 650 Setup menu.
Safety instructions must be followed before connecting the computer to the relay. Safety
instructions are detailed in section 1.1.3 Safety instructions. Connect the relay ground terminal and
the communicating computer to a good grounding. Otherwise, communication may not be viable, or
even, in worst cases, the relay and/or the computer can result damaged by overvoltages.
When working online, ensure that all relay communication parameters, such as baud rate, slave ModBus address, etc.,
match the computer settings before connected to the relay.
The Communication > Computer screen is divided in several subsections:
• Computer settings: Main communication parameters for serial communication and control type selection.
• Modbus/TCP Setup (if ModBus /TCP is selected as control type): Communication parameters for ModBus TCP
communication.
• Communication control: Device communication status (communicating or not communicating).
• Communication optimization: allows optimizing the communication time outs and failure establishing.
